The Macdonald Roxburghe Hotel

The huge bed!

Spacious room, very quiet for a city hotel (ask for a room overlooking the central area as although no view it is extremely quiet). Very good facilities and service. Great location in the city for shopping , sightseeing etc.

Food in the restaurant good but very small servings. Be careful of the bill we were overcharged by the restaurant over 2 evenings ! Complimentary papers in the morning should mean complimentary but we were charged for the papers in the bill. It was not made clear the only paper that qualifies is the local Scottish daily.

Very Central Location

No tea/coffee facilities in the room.

Very good location for walking around Edinburgh, nice bar and would liked to try the pool but just did not have time. We have stayed before and will stay again

The hotel was very welcoming. It was clean and had obviously been refurbished recently. The staff were very helpful particularly the two concierges we spoke to. We had no complaints at all.

Conveniently positioned with excellent public transport straight from the door.

This was booked as a 'celebration break' as it was my husbands 50th birthday. This was to include a possible free room upgrade, free pre-dinner champagne on each nights stay and a complimentary celebration cake at the end of each evening meal. The hotel, however, had no knowledge of any of these and as such we were not offered an upgrade, eventually we did receive a glass of champagne each, on the first night only but we did not receive the cake. I was a little disappointed that it was not made to feel like a celebration at all.

The hotel was nice and central for a shopping trip, at the end of a long day it was a lovely room to relax in, a lovely size room and very comfortable.

Close proximity to major attractions

The room was exceedingly dimly it - only two lamps. Asked for extra lighting three times without any response (twice to reception, once to a member of the room cleaning staff). Was told first time that hotel was full and did not have any extra lamps, which I find very hard to believe, given that lamps could break. Third time of asking was assured that a lamp would be in my room by my return that day, which did not happen. We had beverage and toast for breakfast the first morning, which consisted of one piece of toast for a total cost of 13 GBP, an exhorbitant price, I thought. Staff was not particuarly friendly and the area beyond the reception area was very sparsely furnished and unwelcoming. Extremely small elevator, slow.

Friendly staff, nice and clean room although a bit small. Well placed to explore the city.

Helpfull staff, good service, nice breakfast, great loocation for sightseing and shopping. Nice bar with great staff that rember you and what you had to drink the day before. Great beds and bath. The bath was a litle small but clean.

We hade a room at the top floor with window in the sealing, that dit not give any view of the city. The door to the room was not open under and gave away both light and sound form the hall. But ther were no sound from the rooms close by.

hotel was being refurbished so perhaps my comments are unfair

Room I booked was "unavailable" until I said I would leave and go to another hotel, then the room I booked became available. I think that is a very poor way to do business.
